BodyRock in the House Tonight

As I’ve mentioned (a few times), I am doing the BodyRock.tv 30 day challenge. I’m a little behind the main group – just starting in on week 3. But I gotta tell ya – I’m lovin’ it! (bah-dah-ba-ba-bah)

This morning we repeated the fit test (50 seconds on, 10 seconds rest) we completed on day 1, and in most areas I am getting stronger! Woopwoop!

Week 1
Exercise	Reps
Squat Jumps	35
Push-ups	29
Burpees	15
High Knees	114
Switch Lunges	23
Tuck Jumps	22
Sit-ups	27

And then 2 weeks later:

Week 3
Exercise	Reps
Squat Jumps	40
Push-ups	29
Burpees	16
High Knees	141
Switch Lunges	33
Tuck Jumps	24
Sit-ups	26

Not bad for 2 weeks strength gains.

I’m pretty pleased. I think I could probably push myself to go a little faster on the squat jumps, burpees, & push-ups. Something to focus on. Plus, I know that the loss of single sit-up is not a huge deal, but when I started this challenge I was doing pilates daily. Perhaps that’s something I need to add back in every once in a while.

I also really need to start incorporating more cardio into my life once again – not that BodyRock doesn’t get my heart rate going – I am just craving that peaceful mental space that only a long run provides.

Time to get ready for class. We got dumped on last night, so I am sure my ride to school is going to be a beast.

I’ll leave you with a little Monday Motivation.
